Prior-Design is a tuning company we love to talk about. It is frequently featured in our blog posts not only because of its relative popularity, but mostly because of the great tunings it creates. This time, under the spotlight is the Porsche Macan, which has received a wide-body conversion kit, called PD600M. The tuning studio calls the process a “muscle building” and we are likely to agree. Here are the reasons.
If you have ever wondered what the word Macan stands for, it is the Malay word for ‘Tiger’. Although Porsche made sure its compact SUV lived up to its name, customization specialists like PD can always bring out more and more so that the vehicle could bring about better performance and driving dynamics.

The PD600M wide-body conversion not only does that but also gives the Macan tough street fighter looks and aggressive on-road stance. The muscular look was the goal for this project. However, PD experts also tried keeping the inherent elegance of the Porsche.
At the front we see new bumper and a separate air splitter and larger air intakes. At the sides, there are bigger front wheel arch extensions visually joined to the equally large rear arches by new side skirts. Speaking of the rear, there is a new tailgate, roof spoilers as well as in-house made exhaust system. It includes four big exhaust outlets bracketing the underbody diffuser as well as valve control system for a mind-blowing soundtrack.
The huge wheel-arches had to be filled out to the maximum with the 22-inch Vossen VPS305 alloys that were shod with Continental SportContact 6 high performance tyres. At last, the ride height was lowered by up to 35 mm via H&R’s electronic lowering module.
With its lower and wider stance, Prior-Design’s Porsche MAcan is probably one of the best projects they have released.

Somewhere in the past we have spoken about this project. Nevertheless, it comes stronger than ever with absolutely new pictures, which you can see and download (for free) from Automobilesreview gallery below. The changes added by the specialists at MED Design include a brand new body-kit as well as interior updates, worth writing about.
It is well known that Subaru WRX STI is one of the performance road-legal masters of our time. Being an automotive icon (literally) it has been featured on many racing games so that any one could drive it, although virtually. Those who are lucky to have driven it say that on a real country road, the WRX STI is behaving even more fun than in the virtual world or on the real streets. Fitted with the obligatory all-wheel drive and the powerful turbo boxer engine, the car almost seams unbeatable.
2017 Nissan GT-R, with a fresh and appealing look, along with some major drivetrain refinements, made its debut at the West Coast Public Premiere on Saturday, May 14 at the 2016 Z-Bash.

Imagine that you could drive a Honda Jazz, but with a Type R specification and look; or a BMW i3, but beautified and powered by the M Division. It might sound crazy, but the world we live in makes every imagination a reality. Especially in the virtual reality. We have received these crazy renderings, which show four seriously unlikely hot hatches. And although you might not be into this kind of endeavor, I promise it is worth the view!The images depict four of the most famous hatches out there, done with the thought that under their hood sleeps a powerful engine. The list includes Honda Jazz Type R, Ford Ka ST, Volkswagen up! GTi and the BMW M i3
As a huge fan of Honda and specifically of Type R, I find this project very cute and at the same time crazy to grasp as a reality. “Small but fast” was the obvious idea behind this render. Envisioned with the legendary VTEC engine under the hood, along with a huge aero kit, this Jazz is ready to blow away any speed-addict within the blink of the eye.
The Ford Ka ST is not only small, but very good looking, and in fact looks a lot like a Ford Focus ST on this image. It is probably the best picture among four, which would make the perfect production vehicle. Its advantages are that it is small in size, low in weight and filled with lots of power from its turbo engine! In other words it is everything that is worth adding the “ST” letters behind the name.
At last but not least comes the BMW M i3, which is no longer electric, but a proud hybrid. This picture shows how the hot-rodded performance variant of everybody’s favorite Teutonic battery-powered city car would look like. And since it wears the famous M badge, you can expect performance miracles. In addition, the BMW on the render is fitted with rough bodykit, sports suspension and buckets.So, which one do you like the best? And would you like to see such production variant in the future?
Lamborghini Murcielago is not the car that you would put to the extreme mountain conditions, isn’t it? Not if you are Jon Olsson. The professional free-skier has done what many might think heretical and the good news is that everything is captured in a 15-minutes long video (awesome!), which you can watch below.
